Resumen

La práctica adecuada de actividad física (AF) y la adherencia a la dieta mediterránea (DM) son importantes para mejorar la salud. Los estilos de vida de los niños se han visto afectados por el confinamiento debido a la pandemia de COVID-19. También es posible que el impacto perjudicial inicial de la pandemia en la salud de los niños continúe más allá del periodo en el que se impuso el confinamiento. Por lo tanto, el objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar el compromiso con la AF, la adherencia a la DM y el tiempo de pantalla en los niños durante el confinamiento y comparar los hallazgos con los datos recopilados durante los períodos previos y posteriores al confinamiento. La muestra inicial incluyó 55 niños de 10-12 años. De ellos, dieciocho no pudieron ser objeto de seguimiento. La muestra final estaba compuesta por 37 niños de 12-13 años. Todos eran alumnos de primaria de la provincia de Granada, España. Se administraron cuestionarios validados para evaluar la AF (PAQ-C) y la adherencia a la dieta mediterránea (KIDMED). Se utilizó el test FAS III para evaluar el estatus socioeconómico y se desarrolló un cuestionario ad-hoc para recoger datos sociodemográficos y evaluar el tiempo de pantalla. Los niños mostraron peores niveles de AF y tiempo frente a la pantalla durante el confinamiento en comparación con los periodos previo y posterior al confinamiento. Los hábitos de tiempo frente a la pantalla adquiridos durante el confinamiento continuaron después. Por el contrario, los niveles de AF fueron más altos después del confinamiento que durante y después del mismo.
